Science at the Edge of Consciousness
What lies beyond the edges of our normal everyday waking consciousness? Join researchers from the Altered States Lab at Macquarie University (and our friends!) for a trip through ancient and modern techniques of consciousness alteration to discover what altered states can teach us about the inner workings of our brains and minds. We will explore…
2025 Marie Curie Lectures: Quantum century – Unlocking the universe’s secrets and shaping our future with Dr Danielle Holmes
100 years ago, quantum physics was born to explain curious behaviour of tiny things. Since then, it has become our most powerful tool that humans possess, not just for increasing our understanding of the world, but for shaping its future. It has unlocked secrets of our universe, such as why stars shine and how migratory…

Science Fair – Moranbah State High School
At the science fair, you will move through different activity stations where you can try experiments yourself. First, at the Microscope Station, you’ll look at tiny things like plant cells, crystals, or fabric fibers through a microscope to see details you can’t see with your eyes alone. Next, at the Spinning Colour Wheel station, you’ll…
